Yeah, Wire is the one I was referencing. Last timeI spoke to Chris from When We Was Kids he told me the place closed down. That was like 3-4 months ago. He used to work there. That Forest Park venue is in a pretty good location, I hope they bring in some good bands. It's always great when I don't have to go to the city for shows. I went to Spitalfield on Friday in Naperville, took me a bit over 30 minutes but it was much better than driving to the city, even when it takes 20-25 minutes.

Are you looking for a list of organizations to reach out to or materials to push out? If it's the former, NAMI Chicago has a good list of local oriented contacts on their website: Resources — NAMI Chicago Each website likely has some specific resources for their individual topic areas. I don't know how it works on the union side of things (assuming that's what you mean by local) and it's different if you're in a small business, but every HR department I've ever worked for has a list of resources available through our website. If your org also has an Employee Assistance Program, I'd also emphasize that since they usually have the ability to connect with specific needs ranging from legal assistance to finding a therapist.
